[@harpie_raven5889]

A) THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL B) SHE UPDATES!!!!

[@gildedguy]

Oh man, you animated Welcome to Hell! Great job on your guys' entry!

[@epoc162]

.... the world must be ending... more than 1 video in a year.

[@Katy133]

I really enjoyed this video. It's kinda mind-blowing to me, when I think about all the steps we've taken, all the choices we've made, all the people we've met, and all the chance encounters we've experienced that all have lead to us both becoming animators. I feel like a lot of it for me was good timing, not just choices I made and studying it did. And if I'd had different teachers, or didn't go to a particular animation studio open house (out of shyness or because I felt tired), my life would have had a different result from missing those moments. I don't think I've ever told you this before, but I discovered Welcome to Hell when a page of the comic you made appeared as a Daily Deviantion on Deviantart. If I didn't spot it and click on that thumbnail, I wouldn't be here listening to your amazing videos. :)

[@djjj5907]

I always crack my knuckles in the middle of drawing. I probably need to stop, hehe..

[@theberrby6836]

DJ JJ You can watch Crowne Prince's hand yoga video! It works imo :D

[@bumbblebee99]

I'm currently after finishing my first year of Animation in college. I'm finding it really interesting and I did want to do anime style animation when I was younger, but I changed my mind. Which then progressed into wanting to my own independent animations. So I'm happy that I can relate to you in animation with certain parts XD. Awesome animation btw! :3

[@spoopyfern]

+Bróna I wanna go to an animation school once I graduate highschool, do u recommend any animation schools I could try to go to? I'm still currently looking, but I need some help deciding. Thank you.

[@jordanjordan124]

@@spoopyfern What did you decide on?

[@MindMeats]

I'm going to KCAI this fall and thank you for the insight on what that college is like. I'm working a full time job so I could pay for this college and I've had my doubts if I actually chose the right college. I've been working my ass off in 3 different jobs since I graduated from high school last year, and every time I hear good stuff about this college it helps me get through it.

[@ladylagsalot311]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION TO DO ANIMATION!! Well, you and Hotdiggitydemon. bUT YOU ARE SO AMAZING AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE OF YOUR WORK!!

[@arithromaniac]

LadyLagsALot M3 t00!! I LOVE her art and inspired me to do animation. Even if there bullshit cheap iPhone one. Hehe

[@spoopyfern]

LadyLagsALot HOLY FUDGE, SAME!!!!!!!

[@missy9740]

Eariler today I was contemplating whether or not I wanted to stay at the current college I'm enrolled at. I am pursuing a BFA in animation, however I don't think my school is teaching me skills that will lead me to a successful career. I've had this video on my watch later playlist for a while. But to hear your story at this time makes me feel more confident in a decision to go ahead and transfer schools. Thank you! In case you are reading this Erica I've been a fan since 2015!

[@abtheawesome2017]

**Hears "I am working on more Welcome to Hell** OH HALLELUJAH THANK YOU ERICA I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW WOOOOOOOOO!

[@donny263]

I Got overly excited when I was this in my notification bar

[@TheWayTheNippleIs]

I love your goddamn personality so much.

[@Jcb26662]

wasn't planning on hearing more than 5 mins of this video....but I was sucked in. This was very interesting to see and hear :3 ! Keep up the good work! 💗

[@JesusCHRISTler]

I love animations without clean up... as long as it doesn't look like scribbles. (welcome to hell was AMAZING btw)

[@PhookaAnimation]

The cleanup was so satisfying to watch (⊙ᗜ⊙) I really enjoyed that story, especially when you were talking about all your classmates being happy to see you, it was so sweet

[@dogwithacoolhat]

"Welcome To Hell" would be a great show on Netflix! pleeeeeeeeease show them the animation! and if you don't like the idea that's. trust me.... ;)

[@dariushcreates]

this new project Game Over looks awesome and interesting! cant wait to see it :D

[@Schizomi7467]

These types of videos are fun to observe and I learn a lot from it! Please do more of these!!

[@emeliawall1354]

I HATH BEEN BLESSED YOU HATH UPLOADED ONCE MORE. This is actually really great timing, I have an interview to take an animation course next Tuesday, and you are a huge inspiration for me, thank you!! ^_^ (Also help I'm super nervous)

[@emeliawall1354]

Thank you (as always)!! This has really helped boost my confidence!! You're right the only thing I can do is try my best and be myself :) Hopefully that will be enough, and if it's not then at least I'll know I couldn't have really done anything else! *fingers crossed*

[@emeliawall1354]

Erica Wester I got accepted!! I start in September!! Thank you!! Your words really helped me through the anxiety!!

[@pasiaomega3868]

Why yes I enjoy just hearing you talk. Thanks for asking! :D By all means just keep talking. You're entertaining to listen to and learn from, especially while I'm working on my storyboard portfolio.... aaaand subscribed!

[@mekbudaanimations8887]

Very insightful, thank you, you inspire to keep making my own animations

[@wadesomad4428]

welcome to hell was great even without clean up!!! I know you're an artist so you always know what will make your stuff better, but it is really amazing so sometimes enough is enough!

[@Danielfiks]

I love that welcome to hell is not following finished. It looks cool.

[@asolitaryhue]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@anklegod3700]

I love animation too! I started animating ever since Christmas when I got an iPad and it’s already been 5 months but I’m still not any good at it. I guess I just need some practice.

[@nyonez]

I loved ur animation and it was awe-mazing!!

[@HybridTree]

I keep playing 16:10-16:23 over and over cause I keep laughing SO FUCKING HARD. LIKE THE STRUGGLE IS REAL AND I RELATE

[@Tashitoohot]

[@killme5848]

[@Oz_Ragnarok]

[@basilv2533]

YES YOUR WORKING ON MORE WELCOME TO HELL~!!!!!

[@BoReads]

Those are such cute characters!

[@Cosporcos-Q]

I absolutely can't wait for more welcome to hell. Please. Anyways, your work is quality, and I would rather see a complete product rather than a half baked one just to meet a deadline, or something.

[@eLLcartoons]

This is amazing. Like fucking amazing. everything.

[@joyce-marilyn8152]

Heh your art inspires me so much and Iv always kinda had animation in the back of my head but ...I have no confidence in my art and I'm always worried in showing others but some how I have no idea why I'm super inspired to do animation right now even though I have no idea how to do it XD thank you 😸

[@veronicacamp9334]

I like the end lol! No, but it's nice to hear a little bit about your story. I'm still not sure what area of art I want to go into. I was thinking either illustration or animation. Oh well, I still have at least a few more years to decide so

[@jermenk]

its funny how i subscribed to you not long ago and now you're back :v

[@Ravenroxy]

your art and animations are so inspiring!

[@ChompGod]

I love your videos **v** I'm a young artist and still not very happy with my art, but I'd love to be able to animate like you eventually

[@LytzyBitzySpider]

[@somedumbhoe7123]

The ending had me rolling on the floor laughing.

[@Chiletoas]

yea!! new animation :D

[@archive7656]

IT SO GOOD :3

[@josephmiranda7047]

Hey thats pretty goood

[@spoopyfern]

Oh my gosh, Erica, when u were talking about how u got into animation, u were literally speaking about my life. I love drawing and always have, as well as watching cartoons and anime(dispite me almost being in highschool). Which is why, once I graduate highschool, I want to become a full time animator and make my own cartoon show(maybe adult stuff or maybe older kids stuff, IDK). And watching your animations gives me even more inspiration to follow my dreams. Thank you for that.😊 Also, what Art school did you go to? I'm just curious.(and if u said it already, I'm sorry for asking...)😅

[@monster3339]

Aaaaa this was just really nice to watch and listen to! I love when artists do videos like this. Any recommendation for a good program for animation for someone who's just starting out? I've wanted to try my hands at it for a looooong time, and I'm having a bit of trouble finding a good starting point (I actually do have OpenToonz, but my mac has a very hard time running it and it crashes a lot, so i haven't gotten to play around much), and having already graduated college with no hope of ever going back, it's a bit overwhelming!

[@narrator_alpha]

Welcome to hell took my heart I loved it xD, but ive wanted to try animations but the only problem... I suck at animating.... I mean the best thing I done was my profile picture

[@electricmouse6382]

Actually just realized the acronym for welcome to hell is just wth..

[@wardedthorn6523]

All the comments she wrote as shewas drawing cracked me up

[@joushi-i]

Awsome

[@trashbin5681]

Oml I luv ur animations but I'm kinda getting into it and I would love to know how to lip sync things ;3;

[@Slumbear14]

Dumb question probably: What are you animating in? And are there any programs you would recommend for animation? (Im a beginner that really wants to try animation!)

[@maydaysmonsters625]

This was really helpful!!! As an aspiring animator I'm wondering what program are you using ??? Right now I have macromedia flash 8 and I'm not sure how to use it really and I've been looking for a good program.

[@xilefenko]

You upload less than Felix Colgrave or Harry Patridge. I didn't thought that was possible. But that's not supposed to be critic. XD

[@Mtyugi]

when you said you didn't know what you were gonna talk about I was like "butts. talk about butts." ......I am a 31 yr 12 yr old * buries face in hands *

[@mytribem1283]

Cool

[@Ale-tj8gj]

Erica ur a gift

[@HugoBDesigner]

Oh man, that was a fun video to watch! Hoping to see more like this, it was really entertaining. I want to get into animation (probably as a hobby and not so much of a job), so getting more of an insight is always nice. I guess I can relate to the cleanup hatred, though. That shit takes ages!

[@psikochick2]

MAKE ANOTHER EPISODE OF WELCOME TO HELL PLEEASE

[@vinny2765]

welcome to rel

[@vinny2765]

hell

[@larsarcher501]

Hey I don't want to be annoying or anything, but when you say you're working on Welcome to Hell, do you mean a sequel? And if so, do you have a rough idea of what month it will be ready? I'm sorry, I don't want to rush you or anything, but Welcome to Hell was just so amazing (the characters' personalities and designs, the storyline and the how it was all put together) and I'm really excited for more of it

[@urmother6439]

Mix of Tabbes and Jaidenanimations but better animations keep it up

[@rosexgmpv9722]

Dude you so cool can you make episodes of welcome to hell

[@michaeltoland9197]

[@Bunnybearz77]

[@WeeADream]

Dude, what program is this? I'm trying to learn how to animate my cartoons on my computer and I have no idea how to do that!!

[@yikesalexis.1607]

Erica Wester is there going to be more Welcome To Hell episodes? ):

[@Ahple]

Wheres the end result?

[@willowgomez3103]

What program did you use to animate? Also, if you're looking for any suggestions, what about something about a goth fairy and a cheerleader vampire?

[@kingt1nee]

She used TVP Animation 10 It's really expensive. ._.

[@midnightfriday2590]

You should try a video doing 3d animation. Just download blender or source filmmaker.
